Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has suggested that. Manchester United would rather sign Harry Kane than Kody Gakpo.
The Red Devils are seen as looking for a new striker after sacking Cristiano Ronaldo. With the hottest player right now being Kakpo, who has outstanding. In the World Cup scored 3 goals in the first 3 games.
However, Eriksson thinks the PSV star is still not the kind of player United want suggesting. That he should be more of a striker like Kane.
“Kodi Kakpo will do well in the Premier League and I’m sure he won’t need much time to adjust him to the Premier League.” Eriksson told Betway UFABET.
“The point is that clubs have eyeing him 30-40 times now. Cristiano Ronaldo is go and Manchester United need a No 9 and Harry Kane is the one most suitable”
“Ken might not be able to get him into the team. But they have something similar. For now, I don’t think Kakpo is the type of player they want.
As for Kane’s performances at the England national team. Be has with the senior national team since 2015. Or at the age of 21 has played all major tournaments. Both the World Cup, Euro and UEFA Nations League. Played 67 games and scored 48 goals (data as of February 23, 22)
